'HIS   swift   and 
popular    rambler 
aiiioiivij  the  intri- 
cate  channels  of 
the  lovely  Thous- 
and Islands  l)ears 
the  name  of  the 
well- known  steamboat  captain 
who  fh'st  opened  to  the  pub- 
lic the  famous  circuit  of  the 
Islands   by  regular   daily  ex- 
cursions.   The  Commander  of 
the  Cap  IAIN  Viscer  is  a  sou  of 
this  pioneer  navigator. 

The  Cai'Iain Vis(;ek  has  the 
proportions,  grace  and  speed 
of  a   sujierb    private    steam - 
yacht.    The  boat  has  a  length 
of  5)0  feet,  is  18  feet  beam  and 
has  a  capacity  of  110  passen- 
gers,   with   ample    protection 
below  in  case  of  stormy  weather.     With  her  light  draught  and  easy  hand- 
ling the  Cai"I'ai.\  VisciKK  is  guided  through  many  lovely  scenes  not  hereto- 
fore revealed  to  the  excursionist. 

Twice  daily  the  Captain  Vis(;er  leaves  Alexandria  Bay  during  the 
summer  season,  making  a  tour  of  40  miles,  which  includes  stops  at  all  im- 
portant points  among  the  Islands,  and  gives  a  complete  panorama  of  all 
the  magnificent  natural  attractions  anrl  hundreds  of  splendid  summer 
homes  which  are  the  admiration  of  all  visitors. 

The  morning  tour  leads  up  the  American  Channel  to  Clayton,  thence 
through  Eel  Bay  and  along  the  Canadian  main  shore,  where  are  grouped 
the  most  beautiful  of  the  wild  Canadian  islands.  The  afternoon  tour  be- 
gins at  Clayton  and  reverses  the  direction.  The  itinerary  following  is  that 
of  the  forenoon  tour,  the  places  named  being  designated  by  numbers  upon 
the  accompanying  map.  Those  using  this  list  for  reference  in  the  after- 
noons should  read  the  list  backwards.

THE  COLUMBIAN  HOTEL,  located  here,  is  one  of  the  largest 
and  best  known  of  the  Island  houses.  Several  hundred  cot- 
tages, some  of  them  costly  and  tasteful,  range  along  the  river 
front  or  face  the  inland  avenues. 

CASTLE  FRANCES,  opposite  "The  Park."  is  owned  by  Wm    T 
Serrell,  Kayonne,  N.  J. 

THE  PULLMAN  HOUSE,  another  attractive  hotel,  beautifully 
situated,  IS  the  next  regular  stop,  and  just  above  it  is 

GRENELL  PARK,  containing  about  thirty  cottages  and  a  pretty 
chapel.     Among  the  cottages  is  JERSEY  HEIGHTS    .ipon  a 
lofty  perch  just  above  the  Pullman  House,  owned  by  Mrs  L  L 
Carlisle,  of  Newark,  N.  J. ;  Riverleigh,  upon  the  point  owned 
by  L.  E.  Curtis,  of  New  York;  Kirmess,  owned  by  T   B   Keer 
Englewood,  N.  J. ;  these  two  are  connected  by  a  little  rustic 
bridge;  and  the  BUNGALOW,  upon  the  summit  of  the  island 
owned  by  P.  M.  Sharpies,  of  Westchester,  Pa. 

MURRAY  HILL  HOTEL,  recently  built,  is  the  next  call  This 
IS  a  wildwood  park,  already  well  dotted  with  cottages  set 
among  the  crags  and  verdure.  The  hotel  is  a  large  and  ele- 
gant building,  handsomely  furnished.  It  should  be  mentioned 
tliat  the  Captain  Viscer  is  the  only  steamer  making  the  Island 
Ramble  that  touches  regularly  at  the  Pullman  House.  Grenell

CLAYTON,  the  En/repot  of  the  Islands,  is  a  busy  place  in  sum- 
mer. It  is  the  terminus  of  the  R.  W.  &  O.  Railroad,  and  has 
several  good  hotels,  the  Hubbard,  Walton  and  Windsor,  all 
being  popular. 

PROSPECT  PARK,  upon  the  shapely  point  above  Clayton.  The 
WOODLANDS,  the  villa  of  Mrs.  Alexander  Mitchell,  of  Flori- 
da, with  several  other  fine  cottages,  are  located  here. 

Opposite  Clayton  is  CALUMET  ISLAND,  which  with  its  magni- 
ficent sandstone  residence,  ornate  boat-house  and  varied  im- 
provements made  by  Mr.  Chas.  G.  Emery,  of  New  York,  is 
probably  the  most  costly  place  upon  the  river. 

Calumet  is  seen  with  especial  advantage  from  the  Cai'Tain 
ViscjEK,  which  approaches  close  to  its  sea  walls  in  passing. 
The  beautiful  steam  yacht  Nina,  a  house-boat  and  two  naptha 
launches,  with  numerous  trim  skiffs  may  be  seen  in  the  fairy 
bay  as  we  glide  past.  Mr.  Emery  owns  a  number  of  other 
islands,  among  them  Robbins,  upon  which  he  has  established 
a  fine  farm,  orchards  and  green  houses. 

The  Cai'Tain  ViscF.R  now  heads  a v;ay  through  the  channel 
leading  into  Eel  Bay  and  toward  Canada.  The  summer  Venice 
of  wealthy  Americans  is  left  behind  and  primeval  nature  sur- 
rounds us.     Camping  parties  and  fishing  skiffs  are  seen  in  the

cate  and  entrancing  channels  everywhere,  the  yacht  crosses  a 
small  bay  and  heads  directly  for  the  main  shore.  There  is  no 
apparent  outlet  and  the  prospect  seems  imminent  for  the  Cap- 
tain VisoKR  to  come  to  a  stop  in  a  farmer's  garden  dead  ahead. 
By  a  sudden  turn  to  the  right,  however,  we  enter  Horseshoe 
Channel.  Upon  the  left  is  the  Glen  House,  W.  W,  Shipman, 
proprietor.  Our  course  is  now  in  a  generally  northeastern  di- 
rection, passing  Champagne  Point  and  Ivy  Lea.  With  slowed 
engines  we  enter  that  wonderfully  narrow  channel,  THE 
NEEDLE'S  EYE;  from  either  side  of  the  boat  a  person  might 
leap  ashore.  Leaving  this  beautiful  group  of  islands  we  head 
for  the  Canadian  main  shore  at  a  point  where  there  seems  to 
be  no  outlet.  Again  with  slowed  engines  we  enter  the  narrow, 
tortuous  channel  called  OUT  OF  SIGHT.  There  is  but  one 
place  in  tne  whole  river  that  surpasses  this  in  the  grandeur  of 
Its  natural  beauty,  THE  WONDERFUL  RIFT,  which  we  will 
soon  enter. 

ECHO  LODGE,  a  pleasant  hotel  conducted  by  O.  L.  Potter. 

From  Champagne  Point  to  Echo  Lodge,  no  excursion  steamer 
has  ever  before  ventured,  presumably  from  the  belief  that  this 
channel  through  a  dense  group  of  islands  was  too  intricate  for 
navigation.  This  lovely  link  in  the  perfect  island  tour  has  now 
been  added  by  the  Catiain  Visgi.r.

Canadian  and  American  Channels  come  together.

08.J;,WESTMINSTER  PARK  with  its  large  hotel  is  at  the  foot  of 
Wellesley  Island.  Between  Hill  and  Wellesley  islands  is  the 
entrance  to  the  Luke  of  the  Isles,  or  "  Lake  Waterloo,"  as  it  is 
locally  known.  It  is  accessible  only  by  rowboats  and  small 
naptha  launches.  A  steam  ferry-boat  plies  regularly  between 
Westminster  Park  and  Alexandria  Bay. 

The  international  boundary  line  is  crossed  with  slowed  en- 
gine, not  because  of  any  danger  of  getting  the  line  tangled  up 
in  the  propeller,  but  because  the  water  here  is  shallow. 

To  the  left  of  the  Caitain  Visgkr's  course  is  a  group  of  noted
